In my home i have a desktop pc connected to the wireless router that was provided by the ISP using a LAN cable...I also use a laptop that can connect to internet through wifi..Is there any way or software that i can control or remote desktop the desktop pc through my laptop which is connected to router with wifi....
i don't want to connect to the desktop pc through internet but through LAN

You want to connect to the desktop using the laptop, and use it (the desktop) as if you were sitting right behind it?
Windows built-in application 'Remote Desktop' does this. Which can be found under 'All Programs' --> 'Accessories'. You enter either the desktop pc 'name' or its 'IP Address'. -

Remote Desktop is only supported by Win7 Pro and Ultimate (and Business?).
You can try the various VNC programs. I like TightVNC a lot when I'm managing my server that I don't have physical access to. -

Nevertheless here are the facts about RD!
OP, if RD isn't supported on the desktop machine, another option is TeamViewer. -

What I meant to say is that any Win7 machine can accept remote desktop connections, but only Pro/Ultimate/(business?) can make them.
Ifyou have Pro or Ultimate on your laptop, you're good to go. If not, try TightVNC, or as suggested, Teamviewer. -
